I didn't read the entire discussion, but my Samsung drive just died after 5yrs of 48hrs per week run-time... Pretty decent I think. The drive is technically still good, the boot sector is corrupt so it's possibly not the drive to blame.... but I replaced it anyways. That's good life for a drive!
My dad has had a lot of problems with Western Digital although I've been fortunate with my WD drives.
.... guess I shoulda' read the LAST posts... Looks like you have a new one already.

But it's a 500 GB Hitachi Deskstar. This isn't the same as teh IBM Deathstar that people warn about, I hope...?
